First time I laid my eyes on this black blouse sitting pretty on a mannequin, I knew I couldn't go home without it.
I mopped up the remaining money in my purse and bought it. Got home and stashed it somewhere in my wardrobe waiting for the perfect outing to rock it.

Totally forgotten, this beauty spent a year plus, hybernating in my wardrobe , still waiting for me to wear it.

Fast forward to April 2020, my dad's burial was around the corner and I didn't want to sew all those regular ankara styles women make for occasions so I kept on racking my brain to come up with a unique style.

I can't quite remember, I was either rummaging through my wardrobe or decluttering when I saw it. It was as if a halo was around the blouse when I held it up to inspect, and then it hit me! I would combine the blouse and the ankara fabric.

Sadly, I'd have to cut the blouse into two but hey, I wanted something different.

So I cut and sewed and that was how this lovely gown was birthed but guess what? It's got a custom-made belt that I sewed for it.
Of course, I altered the original design of the belt and gave it a new look.
Looking at it, the gown looks like follow come from #prada. Abi?
